Release notes

Until now DPMux remembered your layout but forgot your work — scrollback, and nothing more. 2.0 adds a structured session layer: every command becomes a block you can search, re-run, review, and reuse. The idea Warp is built on, done the Windows way — layered on the durable shells you already have, with secrets stripped locally before anything is ever stored.

• NewCommand blocks. Turn capture on once with dpmux install-shell-integration (PowerShell, bash, zsh) and DPMux records every command as a block — the command line, its output, exit code, working directory, and how long it took. A colored tick in the gutter marks each one: running, ok, failed.
• NewCommand history, everywhere. Ctrl+Shift+H opens a searchable history of the active terminal — ↵ to jump back to a command, Ctrl+R to re-run it, bookmark the ones worth keeping. The command palette searches your whole history too, so a docker run … from yesterday is two keystrokes away in any pane — or query it from a script with dpmux search-blocks.
• NewA reusable workflow library. Save the setups you run constantly as workflows, prompts, and env sets. dpmux library run wf-dev-preview spins up a workspace, starts the dev server, and splits a live browser preview beside it — one command, the whole layout. Fill parameters in a little form from the palette, or let an agent run one with the new run_workflow MCP tool.
• NewSecrets stay yours. Before a block is stored or shown it runs through a local redaction pass — AWS / GitHub / OpenAI / Anthropic keys, bearer tokens, private keys, connection-string passwords, SECRET=… assignments. Nothing leaves your machine; preview exactly what it strips with dpmux redact-preview "…".
• NewReview what your agents ran. dpmux workspace-blocks opens an HTML transcript of a workspace's commands — every block with its status, timing and output, errors highlighted — the fastest way to see what an agent actually did. A local Event log in the palette lets you watch DPMux's own event stream, too.

Animated agent TUIs — like OpenAI Codex's "working" spinner — could strobe on some Windows GPUs, the cursor flickering as the screen repainted dozens of times a second. That's the terminal's GPU renderer fighting the redraw. Now you choose how it draws.

• New"renderer" in settings.json: webgl | canvas | dom. webgl (default) is the fastest GPU path; canvas is a steadier GPU renderer that stops the strobe most animated agents trigger; dom is the most flicker-proof of all. It hot-reloads — the moment a spinner shimmers, set "renderer": "canvas" and watch it settle, no restart.
• ImprovedIf the chosen renderer can't start — no GPU, or too many live contexts — DPMux now falls back to the DOM renderer automatically instead of going blank. Still seeing a jittery cursor under an agent? Pair it with "cursor-blink": false.

Fleet Dispatch fans code out across worktrees. Research Dispatch fans questions out — a party of agents that go read, deliberate, and come back with findings. No git in sight.

• Newdpmux research "compare Postgres vs SQLite" "what are people saying about Bun" (aliases research, scout). Each question gets its own agent in its own workspace + terminal under a Research sidebar group — a real Claude (or Codex) session pointed at the task, told to lean on web search and the /last30days skill for recent Reddit / X / HN / YouTube chatter. No worktree, no branch, no merge — these agents bring back a sourced summary, not a diff. Read each one with dpmux capture-pane.
• NewClaude dispatches research too. With dpmux mcp install, agents get research_dispatch (parallel research, no code) right alongside fleet_dispatch (parallel code) — plus a close_workspace tool to clear a scout away once its findings are in. The /dpmux-dispatch skill now teaches when to send out research versus a fleet versus an inline sub-agent.
• Improved"research-command" in settings.json points research dispatch at any agent CLI (default claude "{task}"), mirroring "fleet-command".

The ground-truth sidebar pills weren't just for Claude Code. Now every OpenAI Codex session lights up the sidebar the same way.

• NewCodex status pills. dpmux install-hooks codex registers Codex's hooks in your user-level ~/.codex/config.toml: a working pill when a turn starts, needs input + a ring when Codex waits on you to approve a tool, and done + an unread dot when the turn finishes. Run Claude Code and Codex side by side and the sidebar tells the truth about both.
• Newstdin-safe by design. It uses Codex's [hooks] engine, which delivers each event's payload on stdin — the agent's output never touches a shell. Your config.toml is preserved (a backup is kept beside it), and dpmux install-hooks codex --remove unwires it cleanly.

Fleet Dispatch was something you ran. Now Claude can run it too — and even when it doesn't, you can finally see it delegating.

• NewClaude dispatches fleets. With dpmux mcp install, Claude Code gains fleet_dispatch / fleet_status / fleet_review / fleet_merge / fleet_discard. Instead of spawning invisible in-process sub-agents, it fans parallel work out to real worktree agents you watch on the Fleet Board and approve before they merge — it polls and reviews, you stay in the loop.
• NewDelegation you can see. Even when Claude uses its own built-in sub-agents, a delegating ×N pill now tracks them live on the workspace — a busy, delegating session never reads as idle again.
• NewThe /dpmux-dispatch skill. dpmux install-skill claude teaches Claude when to dispatch a fleet versus delegate in-process, and how to drive dispatch → review → merge.
• ImprovedRe-run dpmux install-hooks claude to pick up the new delegation pills; the fleet_* tools appear automatically once the MCP server is registered.

The converged pattern from the agent-orchestration world — a worktree per agent with a review board — but in real, fully interactive terminals. And on Windows.

• Newdpmux dispatch "task one" "task two" "task three". Each task gets its own git worktree on a fleet/<slug> branch, its own workspace under a Fleet: sidebar group, and its own Claude Code session started on the task. Three agents working the same repo without stepping on each other.
• NewThe review gate. dpmux fleet-review opens a styled diff of everything the agent changed against your base branch, right in a pane. Like it? fleet-merge wip-commits any loose work, squash-merges onto base as one clean fleet: <task> commit, and removes the worktree. Don't? fleet-discard.
• NewThe Fleet Board. A mission-control card pinned in the sidebar — visible whatever group you're in — with one dot per agent (colored by its live state), an elapsed timer, and per-agent rows showing +ins −del · commits as the work happens. Hover a row for diff / merge / drop; click to jump to the agent. The card glows when someone needs you.
• NewGuard rails. Merge refuses if your main repo is dirty or off the fleet's base branch, and rolls back cleanly on conflicts — your checkout is never left mid-merge.
• NewWorks with everything that came before: hook pills show who's working / blocked / done across the fleet, and Detach keeps a dispatched fleet running through app restarts. "fleet-command" in settings.json points dispatch at any agent CLI.

tmux-grade persistence, on Windows. Your shells no longer live inside the DPMux window — they live in a detached dpmux-ptyhost process that owns the consoles.

• NewDetach. Close the window, crash the app, or restart to apply an update — every shell keeps running. Relaunch and each workspace re-attaches to the same processes with scrollback replayed. The 40-minute agent run that used to die with the window just… doesn't.
• NewUpdates without casualties. DPMux's own auto-update restart now keeps your fleet alive through the swap.
• Newdpmux detach-status shows the host and every shell it holds; dpmux kill-server ends the fleet for real (tmux-style). Explicit pane/workspace closes still kill their shells — only the app going away detaches.
• New"detach": false in settings.json restores the old everything-dies-with-the-window behavior.

• NewIcon rail. Collapse the sidebar into a compact strip of workspace tiles — and keep every signal: the notification ring pulses around the tile, progress wraps it as a circular ring, the status pill becomes a colored corner dot (hover for the full text), unread keeps its dot. Each workspace gets a stable color so your fleet stays tellable-apart at a glance.
• NewResize with intent. Drag the sidebar edge to any width (it's remembered); drag it small and it snaps into the rail; drag back out to expand. Double-click the edge to toggle, or cycle expanded → rail → hidden with Ctrl+Shift+B.
• Newdpmux sidebar rail|expanded|hidden|toggle [--width N] — scriptable like everything else, so an agent kicking off long work can tuck the sidebar away for you.

• Fixeddpmux install-hooks claude refused to install (and dpmux mcp install wrote a version-pinned launch command) on installs living outside the default folder — portable installs, relocated or redirected profiles. The CLI now locates its launcher from the running binary itself, so registrations always point at the update-proof shim.
• FixedCLI output no longer shows garbled dashes on legacy console codepages.

DPMux becomes the terminal your agents can actually use — in both directions.

• Newdpmux mcp — DPMux is an MCP server. One command (dpmux mcp install) registers it with Claude Code, and agents get 15 tools to drive the terminal they live in: split panes, run commands, read output, open a real Chromium tab at your dev server, screenshot it, set status pills and progress, and ring you. Tools self-target the agent's own workspace — no ids needed.
• NewAgents can see. browser_screenshot and screenshot_app return actual images over MCP, so Claude can open the page it just changed and visually verify it.
• Newdpmux install-hooks claude — ground-truth status pills. Claude Code sessions declare their own lifecycle on the sidebar: working when a prompt is running, needs input + a notification ring when Claude is waiting on you, done + unread dot when it finishes. No output-scraping heuristics — the agent says so itself.
• Newdpmux mcp print emits the mcpServers JSON for manual setup in any other MCP client; --remove / uninstall unwire everything cleanly.

• ImprovedSidebar previews now reassemble wrapped lines and filter out TUI chrome — box-drawing frames, spinner repaints, and agent status hints. With Claude Code (or any TUI) running, cards show the last meaningful output instead of a wall of ╭───╮ frame lines.

• NewDownloads and updates now ship from GitHub as the primary channel, with the original channel kept as an automatic fallback — the installer and updater try sources in order, so a single outage never blocks an update.

• ChangedRenamed across the board — there's already a beloved tmux, and it isn't us. The product is DPMux, the CLI is dpmux, env vars are DPMUX_*, the pipe is \\.\pipe\dpmux-<user>, and installs live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\DPMux.
• NewThe tmux-compat command aliases (send-keys, capture-pane, split-window, …) remain — that part of tmux we borrow proudly.

• FixedRunning the CLI inside a DPMux terminal could launch a ghost second app window and leave commands unanswered. Terminals now get the CLI first on their PATH, and instances launched from inside DPMux respect the single-instance lock.

• NewInstalls provision the dpmux command onto your user PATH — open any terminal and drive DPMux from scripts, CI, or agent hooks.
• Fixed1.0.3 moved the CLI shim into its own bin\ directory so Windows' executable-resolution order (PATHEXT) can't pick the app launcher instead of the CLI.

• Newsettings.json with hot reload — six built-in themes, full palette overrides, keybind = combo=action custom bindings, shell selection, and automatic inheritance of your existing ~/.config/ghostty/config.
• Newdpmux get-config / reload-config to inspect and re-apply the resolved configuration.

The terminal built for multitasking, on Windows.

• NewVertical workspaces with live previews, status pills, progress bars, and notification rings (OSC 9/99/777 or dpmux notify) — plus desktop alerts and taskbar flashing.
• NewSplit panes that never restart your shells, and surfaces — terminal and Chromium browser tabs — inside every pane.
• NewGPU-accelerated rendering (xterm.js WebGL over ConPTY), session restore, command palette, find-in-terminal.
• NewA socket API on a named pipe with 45+ commands, cmux v1/v2 + tmux-compat aliases, an event stream, and self-targeting env vars in every terminal.
• NewChrome-style distribution: a ~110 KB stub installer, per-user install with no admin prompt, background auto-updates with restart-to-apply and rollback.
